Tones on Tail

Tones On Tail & Antonin Artaud | Burning Skies (Prieur de la Marne edit)

In high school, I discovered Bauhaus, Love & Rockets, and Tones on Tail…
The Album Pop is amazing. I collected all the crazy colored-vinyl 12” records.
Of all their songs, from goofy to darkly magnanimous, I love this one the best. So many cool elements – the bleeps, the low droning synths, the backwards stuff, the bassline, the reverse-reverb vocals… they all add up to a seriously epic masterpiece…

She said, Time to crush this feeling
Writing very long letters as soon as it rains
Ooh the rain

To dance the night away
He watches topless pin-up faces
A million different jackpots
With a thousand different gazes
Ooh the rain

But it’s time to crush this feeling
As soon as it rains
Ooh the rain

But it’s time to crush this feeling
As soon as it rains
Ooh the rain . . .
